[00:26] <zoredache> !anyone
[00:26] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:29] <gamechief> anyone here
[00:31] <gamechief> anyone there
[00:32] <deeps> ask a question, thoes who know the answer may emerge from the woodwork when you do
[00:32] <deeps> lol
[01:11] <t105> well - netinstall turns out to be a complete mess ;(
[03:33] <Danger_> is there a support chan for the eee pc
[03:36] <j1mc> hi all - would someone with a default "interfaces" file be willing to post their /etc/init.d/network/interfaces file to pastebin?
[03:38] <Danger_> dont think mine is in there
[03:41] <Danger_> is there a support chan for the eee pc
[03:42] <j1mc> Danger_: i'm sorry, but the file is in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:43] <j1mc> would you mind posting yours to pastebin?
[03:43] <Danger_> auto lo
[03:44] <Danger_> iface lo inet loopback
[03:45] <Danger_> thats it
[03:45] <j1mc> heh... ok.  thanks.
[03:45] <Danger_> not worth pastebin
[03:45] <j1mc> Danger_: have you tried something like #eeepc
[03:45] <Danger_> thats what i aM ON
[03:46] <Danger_> right now
[03:46] <j1mc> oh... ok.  this is the #xubuntu channel, tho

[03:47] <Danger_> google xxxubuntu eee-pc
[03:48] <pizzaboy> hi. i'm on ubuntu. i wanted to make some changes to the menu. but i can't see where. can anybody help me?
[03:49] <pizzaboy> i want to change the actual menu items, like rename 'Network' to possibly 'Internet'
[03:49] <pizzaboy> i already looked in /usr/share/applications but that doesn't let you change category names
[03:49] <j1mc> pizzaboy: are you on Xubuntu or Ubuntu
[03:49] <pizzaboy> xubuntu
[03:49] <j1mc> pizzaboy: there's a menu editor, but . . . it's not perfect.
[03:50] <pizzaboy> oh, no.
[03:50] <j1mc> Settings > menu editor.
[03:50] <pizzaboy> that doesn't let you do it.
[03:50] <pizzaboy> it just has 'include' where all your applications are
[03:50] <j1mc> yeah, it does, but . . . you have to use it to open up a separate file that contains the menu information.
[03:51] <j1mc> and then, the changes you make don't really stick like they should.  :(
[03:51] <pizzaboy> how do i do that?
[03:51] <pizzaboy> well there must be a way
[03:51] <pizzaboy> to rename categories, add new ones
[03:51] <pizzaboy> move stuff between them
[03:51] <pizzaboy> etc.
[03:51] <j1mc> pizzaboy: i'm pretty sure that the only way to make the changes stick is to change the information in the .desktop files.
[03:51] <j1mc> believe me, i've tried.
[03:52] <j1mc> http://j1m.net/images/alt_menu1_small.png
[03:52] <j1mc> i tried changing up the menus, but every time i did, they would get reset after i did some updates.
[03:52] <Danger_> what is the file thast is editd by the autosart applications
[03:53] <j1mc> Danger_: good question . . . i'm not sure.
[03:53] <pizzaboy> oooh, yeah
[03:53] <pizzaboy> that makes sense. updates would put it right back
[03:53] <pizzaboy> =\
[03:53] <pizzaboy> ok, that answers my question
[03:53] <Danger_> i have two instances of the camera controll
[03:53] <Danger_> icon
[03:53] <pizzaboy> epic lulz
[03:53] <j1mc> the changes need to be made in the .desktop files for xubuntu, at least in it's current setup.
[03:54] <pizzaboy> i enjoy epic lulz on a daily basis
[03:54] <Danger_> and yes the eee-pc keys are tiny
[03:55] <pizzaboy> is there no synaptic in xubuntu?
[03:55] <pizzaboy> or anything similar?
[03:55] <Danger_> ys  there is synaptic
[03:55] <pizzaboy> not under settings
[03:56] <Danger_> syste
[03:56] <Danger_> m

[04:48] <AzMoo> Hey, I've got an ltsp setup in my office here that's working great, but when I take the client off-site to another one of our branches it wont finish booting. It gets the IP and the boot image, shows the Ubuntu loading splash, and then drops to a blank screen (completely blank, like the monitor's turned off). If I ctrl+alt+f1 then I can see a linux console so it's obviously booted and stopped. Does anybody know where I should be looking?
[05:07] <ubuntu> hey. how do i select the packages that i would like to install when installing xubuntu for the first time?
[05:07] <ubuntu> i didn't get a prompt for that when using the live cd...
[05:09] <ubuntu> wow, i got the nick ubuntu. i guess the live cd defaults to that...
[05:11] <AzMoo> ubuntu: it sure does. I'm pretty sure you can't select packages at install. After installation is when you configure that stuff.
[05:11] <ubuntu> so, i HAVE to install the packages it comes with, and then remove them later on.
[05:11] <ubuntu> that seems silly
[05:11] <ubuntu> and not as clean
[05:11] <ubuntu> when i remove all those programs
[05:12] <ubuntu> alright, thanks anyways.
[05:12] <ubuntu> bye bye
[05:37] <blake__> this is really weird. i'm not getting any sound in xubuntu. it uses the system beep as if it has no audio driver, but in firefox flash movies have sound.
[05:37] <blake__> programs like pidgin have no sound though...
[07:01] <sulle> hey annyone here?
[07:10] <soldats> very few
[09:19] <newbie_00> hi all
[09:19] <newbie_00> is there any one know default user and password for xubuntu ?
[09:37] <daurnimator> uh
[09:37] <daurnimator> you make it during install
[14:00] <kwhk> .......
[14:00] <maxamillion> ?
[14:01] <kwhk> it's simply too quiet .....
[14:01] <maxamillion> kwhk: it often is
[14:01] <maxamillion> kwhk: on one hand we can interpret that as good news, on the other ... as bad ... all depends on how you look at it :)
[14:02] <kwhk> maxamillion: oh yes, you're right.
[14:03] <kwhk> maxamillion:  other rooms, like ubuntu, gnumeric, are not as quiet as this one.
[14:04] <kwhk> maxamillion: do u use pidgin?
[14:04] <maxamillion> kwhk: very true, and part of me says its because they have a much larger user base which i'm sure plays a big part in that fact but at the same time i like to think we have less issues here
[14:04] <maxamillion> kwhk: yes, but not for irc
[14:06] <kwhk> maxamillion: do u need to type "kwhk" yourself when u talk to me?
[14:08] <maxamillion> kwhk: nope, just type k and then hit the tab key
[14:09] <kwhk> maxamillion: oh yes, thanks.
[14:09] <maxamillion> kwhk: i use irssi because i'm somewhat of a command line junkie
[14:09] <kwhk> maxamillion: i was so stupid.
[14:10] <maxamillion> kwhk: naw, no worries
[14:19] <deeps> that's not very smart
[14:19] <deeps> i just used the software update manager to apply some updates
[14:19] <deeps> which included a new kernel
[14:19] <deeps> and there's nothing warning me that i need to reboot for the changes to take effect
[14:19] <deeps> instead leaving me to believe that my system is safe
[14:21] <kwhk> deeps: if i remember correctly, there was an icon appearing at the right-top corner telling me that i need to reboot the system to effect the changes.
[14:23] <kwhk> deeps: that was an icon with two blue arrows.
[14:23] <maxamillion> deeps: do you know for how many years that feature never existed ... that is something that package managers only started doing in the last 8-12 months
[14:23] <maxamillion> ?
[14:23] <deeps> windows does it *-)
[14:24] <maxamillion> windows also makes you reboot after installing a driver for _anything_
[14:25] <maxamillion> but we are by no means going to begin a windows vs. gnu/linux flamefest in this channel
[14:34] <kwhk> maxamillion: u still there?
[14:35] <maxamillion> kwhk: yeah
[14:35] <maxamillion> kwhk: i'm at work so i kinda come and go ... but i'm here at the moment
[14:35] <maxamillion> kwhk: what's up?
[14:37] <kwhk> maxamillion: i have one question about thunar. it doesn't show exactly the date and time of the file modified. instead, it tells only like today, yesterday, wednesday, ... .  right?
[14:44] <maxamillion> kwhk: i think there is a setting to change that
[14:44] <maxamillion> brb
[14:50] <leche> yes its really quiet here... its hard to get the questions you asl answered
[16:20] <sigma_1234> is xubuntu really faster than ubuntu?
[16:22] <sigma_1234> i find it alot more cluttered
[17:18] <excalibas> hello, i am trying to share the internet connection fom my xubuntu machine to my xbox, can someone point me to the right direction please?
[17:20] <excalibas> i have internet on my xubuntu (wlan0 with ndiswrapper) and i can connect to the xbox (lan ftp) how can i "bridge" the internet connection?
[17:21] <zoredache_> you only have one network interface?
[17:21] <maxamillion> excalibas: there is a firewall application called firestarter (its in the repositories and you can install via apt-get/aptitude/synaptic/etc.) and it has a built in graphical tool that will do that for you as well as handle configuring the dhcp server for the xbox to connect to
[17:21] <excalibas> zoredache, i have wireless and wired
[17:21] <zoredache> and the wired interface is connecting to the xbox?
[17:22] <excalibas> yes, i can ftp with wired and internet with wireless i will try firestarter
[17:25] <little_richard> I've lost the audio in Xubuntu, can somenore help me?
[19:30] <gastaufdemast> test
[20:18] <yish> hello
[20:18] <yish> anyone there?
[20:19] <maxamillion> yish: hi
[20:19] <yish> oh hi maximilion
[20:20] <yish> you're the only one on here?
[20:20] <maxamillion> yish: its possible that i'm the only one not idle
[20:20] <yish> oh ok.
[20:20] <yish> I'm relatively new to IRC.
[20:20] <yish> so if they are idle they can't see the conversation?
[20:21] <maxamillion> yish: they can still see the conversation, they just probably aren't active on their computers right now or not paying attention to the channel
[20:21] <yish> ok
[20:22] <yish> are you one of the developers of xubuntu? or do developers monitor this list?
[20:22] <yish> Also what are the best times of day with the most activity on this channel?
[20:24] <maxamillion> yish: i used to be a contributor developer, but not an "official" one ... i don't have the time for it anymore, but some of the developers do monitor here from time to time
[20:24] <maxamillion> yish: why do you ask?
[20:28] <Sadie> hi.. on my applications menu the "Quit" button used to give me a list of options on what i wanted to do.. it now just logs me off.. any idea why it does this?
[20:32] <duck_> what filesystem should a bootable xubuntu usb drive use?
[20:42] <manchicken> So, are folks playing around on Hardy yet?
[20:59] <yish> hi
[20:59] <yish> i'm back
[21:00] <yish> is there an irc channel where I can talk to the developers of xubuntu?
[21:00] <yish> I am blind
[21:00] <yish> and I want to use xubuntu
[21:00] <yish> but the Orca screen reader doesn't work with it as of now
[21:00] <yish> orca uses at-spi for accessibility
[21:01] <yish> also are there any audio games for xubuntu?
[21:01] <manchicken> I don't think so...
[21:02] <manchicken> I think there may be some of the old-time text-based games in the repository that would work in the terminal with Orca.
[21:02] <manchicken> But that's the closest thing I can think of with that.
[21:02] <yish> audio games have no pictures, graphics or animation in them. blind people play them using sounds only. sounds in the stereo field for example, I have to center an enemy in order to kil it. every keypress in the game usually talks where applicable and uses stereo and volume changes to play games. but there are no audio games for ubuntu or xubuntu
[21:03] <manchicken> I don't think so, have you tried happypenguin.org?
[21:27] <yish> I would like to talk to the developers of xubuntu about orca, audio games and things because I bet xubuntu would run really fast on my system with 512mb ram 2.0 ghz processor and 80gig hard drive
[21:29] <t105> hm... just found a bug in a xfce-addin... dunno how it is called in english, maybe quicklaunch? it apparently is french origin.. well i inserted an item, but didn't enter the right command... then saved and *poof* all my menubars disappeared
[21:31] <t105> well... i guess i need to locate the config file for this.. but... where to look?
[21:34] <ronin_> Testing....testing...
[21:35] <ronin_> Anyone here have some suggestions for irc clients
[21:35] <ronin_> Bitchx seems to run in terminal by default... I
[21:35] <ronin_> I'm not sure how best to use the gtk gui for it
[21:38] <ronin_> exit
[22:22] <t105> something is realy broken... there are no task- /menubars visible. the panel configuration does not start... i found the config files and the panels.xml, removed quicklauncher and its rc ... restarted... but no luck
[22:26] <t105> .xsession-errors states "WARNING **: xfce4-panel is not running
[22:27] <t105> and earlier: "WARNING **: Can't find the xfce-panel menu to popup
[23:42] <groove> im having trouble getting most websites to look right. wikipedia looks like the text is double spaced, and google will look tiny. extreme size differences between different websites. ive tried multiple dpi's and system fonts. any advice?
[23:42] <groove> i also set different fonts in firefox and set minimum font size
